horn.]

[An ar­mor‐​clad face ap­pears at the top of the ram­part. It speaks in
an out­ra­geous French ac­cent.]

Sol­dier. ’Al­lo! ’Oo is it?

Arthur. It is I, King Arthur, and these are my knights of the
Round Ta­ble. Whose cas­tle is this?

S. This is the cas­tle of my mas­ter, Guy de Lom­bard.

A. Go and tell your mas­ter that we have been charged by God
with a sa­cred quest. If he will give us food and shel­ter for the
night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.
